Report: Chelsea Reject Barcelona Approach for Andreas Christensen

Chelsea have reportedly rejected an approach from Barcelona to sign defender Andreas Christensen in the January transfer window.

According to Alex Richards at the Mirror, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia turned down the Spanish champions and has no intention of losing the centre-back in January.

Christensen has struggled for game time this season. He is yet to make a single Premier League appearance under Maurizio Sarri, who has preferred Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz as his centre-backs.

The Dane has had to settle for playing time in the cup competitions. He's started all five of Chelsea's UEFA Europa League matches and both Carabao Cup ties.
